This is a wonderful property! It is in a beautiful area and quiet neighborhood. Quick access to the shopping areas and restaurants. The views are spectacular and we even saw a few whales spouting. The buildings are separated but it has an outdoor living room/kitchen area by the pool where you can gather. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. We loved spending time here!!

This is going to be hard to summarize because the last 2+ years of working with Esther and Josh (E&J) have been amazing. We booked The Promise Tree for IRONMAN week and due to schedule issues with the race in 2023, E&J were VERY flexible in allowing us to move our reservation to 2024. E&J's communication made this experience so pleasant and easy. Very quick response time and they always answered my question. Thank you E for entertaining ALL of my emails.
We truly enjoyed getting to meet Esther; she spent plenty of time with our Ohana during our stay.
The complex is everything AND more than the pictures show. Each area felt like its own ‘apartment’ with plenty of privacy and space. Each area has its own clean and spacious bathroom along with ceiling fans to keep the area cool. The beds were all very comfortable; we moved a queen size mattress from the upstairs larger apartment to the surfer shack for the stay. All the rooms are clean and well decorated. The property is gorgeous. Most of our Ohana spent plenty of time in the pool area and at the main-table in the common area. There is a sprawling front yard which is not shown in the photos that we wish we had more time and purpose to enjoy. The location is safe and a little secluded which added to the feeling of paradise. What more can I say about The Promise Tree! Communication was amazing, the property was beyond amazing, and we have a lifetime of memories.

This property worked very well for our group. We especially enjoyed the pool with two small children to entertain. They loved it.
A bigger dining table to accommodate all 13 of us would have been appreciated. Maybe something with fold up leaves.
This was a very enjoyable stay!

All 9 of us adults agree that Esther's Promise Tree Home was the PERFECT spot for our family (3 generations) of 14 to gather. Each family had their "own space"which was a game changer. There are plenty of places to gather as a large group- the dining lanai, outdoor living room, pool & fire pit. Esther lives right next door and is a wonderful hostess- full of beach recommendations, restaurants ideas etc. Kona is not far nor is Costco if you are feeding a crowd. We all have wonderful memories of our week spent here. It is LOVELY. GO!!

Our stay at this beautiful home in Hawaii was absolutely unforgettable. The property offers breathtaking views that make every moment feel like a postcard come to life. One of the highlights was the outdoor movie setup, complete with a bar and pool, which provided endless entertainment and relaxation for our group.
Each family in our group appreciated the individual cottages, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space while still being together. This thoughtful arrangement made our stay even more enjoyable and comfortable.
The hosts were truly wonderful, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Despite living next door, they respected our privacy completely, making us feel like we had the entire property to ourselves.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Hawaii. The combination of stunning views, luxurious amenities, and exceptional hospitality made this an experience we'll cherish forever. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect Hawaiian getaway!

The open air design of this estate was very cool and felt like a genuine Hawaiian experience! I was a little skeptical of no AC, but the elevation supported cool and breezy evenings and good sleeping weather! The outdoor living room and dining area made for a great gathering place for our family. We loved being a bit out of town while only being a short drive to shopping and restaurants. The pool and yard are beautiful and well kept!!

The Promise Tree was the perfect location for our family to relax and unwind in Hawaii. We loved all the amenities and space for the family to spread out and enjoy the beautiful property and views. Esther was always available whenever we had a question or needed something. Highly recommend Promise Tree for your next family gathering.

I feel deeply grateful for being called to visit the Promise Tree House in Kona, Hawaii, to bring healing to myself and my family. This property, lovingly stewarded by a family for generations, has been a true blessing. Our experience was nothing short of beautiful.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms. Working with the property manager was a delight, marked by excellent communication and thoughtful guidance. The house was impeccably prepared with everything we needed—chairs, towels, even sun hats were provided.
We were guided to the best beaches and felt enveloped in the natural beauty and healing energy of the land. Sleeping surrounded by the sounds of frogs and birds felt like a deep immersion in nature. My children loved swimming in the pool and playing tag and hide and seek in the expansive open land.
This experience has truly brought our family closer together. It’s the perfect place to relax, slow down, be intentional, and reconnect with loved ones. I highly, highly recommend the Promise Tree House for anyone seeking a meaningful and rejuvenating vacation. Mahalo

The view is stunning. The layout of the property was perfect for each couple to have private space with a great outdoor common area for hanging out by the pool and eating meals.
Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Our 3 adult kids came with their family (4 grands and one on the way. ) Plenty of room for us all especially when breaks were needed for anything. Close to beaches,shops and more. Perfect spot for us all. Even helicopter tours not far and very exciting.
